I just realized I forgot to wish all of you ladies a happy Mother’s day this past weekend. So…..happy belated Mother’s day to all you mothers reading this here blog! I hope that you were showered with love and gifts.

We had a nice streak of Summer weather going last week which got me in a smoothie kind of mood. This week is back to being chilly and we even have a frost warning for overnight! Not good for our newly planted grass that is trying it’s hardest to grow in our front yard. I’m SO ready to pack up my winter clothes but sadly can not do that yet. I can’t wait to be in California later this week. Sun-shining San Diego, here we come!

I saved this smoothie recipe out of a Cooking Light magazine a couple of years ago. I happened to have a supply of bananas and a mango in my kitchen at the same time this past weekend so I threw them in a blender to whip up this delicious smoothie. Definitely give it a try!

Arrange the mango cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet; freeze until firm (about 1 hour). Place frozen mango and the remaining ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth.

Note: Freeze the cubed mango overnight in an airtight container to make this smoothie a snap to throw together (for variety, try substituting frozen berries for the mango). Remember to let frozen mango thaw for 15 minutes to soften slightly.

The smoothie looks delicious and perfect for the summer! I know what you mean though with the weather. It’s 70s-80s one day, and then thunderstorming and back to the 50s for the next 3 days before the skies clear again for another peak of sun. Can’t wait till the blossoming of spring into summer!

We had a nice summer streak going too, but this morning and yesterday morning – frost! (I totally just typed “frosting” haha) Anyway, I’ve been making smoothies so much lately because I am craving summer! This looks wonderful. Mangoes are my favorite fruit!

I’m loving the great mango prices in the stores at the moment! We’re eating tons, although haven’t made a smoothie yet. This looks perfect – something I’ll definitely be wanting tow whip up! Thanks for this.

Yum! I’m on a major smoothie kick right now, and have one for breakfast every morning. (sadly I’m also on a major milkshake kick, so I’m sure it all balances out somehow.) I’ll be adding this one to my rotation!

[…] (my other favorites so far are this Banana Cashew Smoothie, which is also dairy free, and this Banana-Mango Smoothie). I love pineapple, and wanted a smoothie that would incorporate them in a simple, but wonderful […]
